I just recently decided to change my notification sound from the Growing Mushroom on Mario to the "Message" quote from Don't be a Menace. My phone won't let me change my notification sound to ANYTHING! Is there something I'm doing wrong? A setting I'm overlooking? Please help...

I was just playing with the notification sounds.
One way I got my sound files to show up in the notifications sounds list is by creating a folder named "notifications" in the root folder of my sdcard and putting the files in there.
Other than that option I don't know how to get the files onto the phone memory. The issue with that is if I remove the sdcard the notification sounds won't play anymore.
I also don't know how to move(delete)/add sound files to the phone's default notification sounds..if anyone could share that too
Im pretty sure if you use Ringdroid from the market, you can save your sound as a ringtone or notification and they will show up in the default list of sounds.
That's the thing! They're available to choose as my notification tone, but after I set the new tone and I get a text, it's the same one I had before. It doesn't change!!!
Ex: my notification tone is twinkle twinkle little star and I decide to change it to three blind mice. I go to my options and change the setting to three blind mice. After saving it, I get a text and twinkle twinkle little star plays. I've checked on my sd card and it's on there. Even if I chose to one of the phone's default notification tones it still won't play when I get a text!!!

If you are using the stock notifications try using Ringo Lite form the market.. just turn all other notifications off
This is confusing, using either the stock app or a different messaging app if the notification sound is different than the default. Such as the default notification sound is Whisper but I set in the SMS app to be Good News. If the screen is off it plays Whisper THEN Good news back to back. But if the screen is on it doesn't do that.. I rebooted and it stopped but then came back. wtf
This only seems to happen if the screen is OFF if the screen is ON it doesn't happen..
Edit: I think i found the issue. Device -> Accessibility -> Notification Reminders - Had this on but only to alert after 10min but it seems to be bugged and causes two alerts at the same time.
Hey everyone,
Just getting my note 10.1 setup and so far im loving it. Its my first tablet and the fact it has a stylus finally made having a tablet more practical for me. One thing I am not a fan of is that when I have the sound turned down to the lowest setting it is too loud. Is there any built in eq that I can use to scale the sound?
So far im using a downloaded app "Music Volume EQ" which is working but needs to be running and then it takes up space in my notifications bar which I really dont like.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know about this specific app, but most apps do have an option to disable notification entries in settings. I was fed up with the Skype app persistently displaying my online status in the notification tray until I noticed an option to disable it in the app's preferences.
'might wanna try looking for it there.
As the title indicated I just got the essential phone and immediately it grabbed the OTA to Android P. The only think that is driving me crazy is that any notification that I get during a call plays an audible tone. It is low tone and is the same throughout all the notifications. It is not the default notification tone and I cannot find a setting in the dialer or to stop this. I have sent a question to essential and have gotten no response as of yet. I am a pretty solid user of android for the last 10 years but this has really stumped me and I would love to know how to stop this. I cant see that anyone would want this feature so I am assuming that it is not a new "feature" native to the P build.
